Merced County DA's son sued after fatal crash

MERCED, Calif. 
The family of a man killed in a collision with the teenage son of Merced County's district attorney has filed a wrongful death suit.

Dylan Morse is charged with vehicular manslaughter and drunken driving in connection with the Valentine's Day crash in Sonoma County. The 18-year-old has pleaded not guilty.

Attorney Patrick Emery, who represents the parents of victim Alexander Ruiz, says they are also suing Morse's passenger, Ryne Spitzer, and Safeway Inc. The parents allege the grocer should not have sold beer to the underage teens.

The California Highway Patrol says Morse, with a blood-alcohol level at twice the legal limit, ran a light and broadsided Ruiz.

Morse's attorney, Chris Andrian, and Safeway officials did not comment.
